We have just returned from a fantastic holiday which started with a 3 night stay at the fabulous Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel, on Kowloon.
The hotel is ideally located right next to the Star Ferry terminal, which you will have to use to get over to Hong Kong Island. Other nearby points of interest include Nathan Road, the ladies and night markets and the promenade directly opposite offer a fantastic view point for the evening light show across the harbour.
It is a typical 5* business style hotel but seemed to cater for both business, families and couples alike during our stay.
At check-in, we were surprised with a room upgrade - a huge executive style suite.
Breakfast was in the form of a buffet -serving international cuisine from a good old English fry-up, continental pastries and meats, etc...
If you are wondering whether to stay on Hong kong island OR Kowloon my advice to you would be Kowloon. The tourist sights are split evently (easily reached by the Star ferry) but there is more to do in the evenings on Kowloon vs. the more expensive and business orientated Hong Kong Island.
One negative however - which really disspaointed my hubby - was that the advertised gym/fitness centre is not located in this hotel but it the sister hotel 5 minutes away, with a daily fee. This is not made clear on the website. Even though they offer a free shuttle to the sister hotel, after a day of sightseeing hopping on a nother bus was the last thing he wanted to do.
All in all though - a great hotel, the best location and fantastic service. Enjoy!
